NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; boost up to 2115 MHz; 321 AI TOPS MSI
Display14-inch 3K (2880 × 1800) OLED, 16:10; 120 Hz; 100% DCI-P3; Pantone Validated

Pantone Validated means the screen reproduces Pantone colours with factory-measured accuracy, reducing colour shifts in photo and video editing.

ASUS
16-inch QHD+ (2560 × 1600), 240 Hz, IPS-level panel, 100% DCI-P3 (typical)

The 16:10 ratio gives more vertical space at the same width; 240 Hz shows motion more smoothly in high-frame-rate games.

MSI
Memory32 GB LPDDR5X 8000 soldered; no expansion slot ASUS16 GB (2 × 8 GB) DDR5-5600; 2 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96 GB

Memory is not soldered; capacity can be raised by replacing the two modules.

MSI
Storage1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; one M.2 slot in total

With the only slot occupied, adding capacity means replacing the drive.

ASUS
1 TB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4); 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 and 1 × M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen5-compatible slot

The second slot allows an extra SSD; the Gen5-compatible slot accepts faster new-generation SSDs.
